HYPE Price Attempts A Breakout Past $90 As Hyperliquid Trading Volumes Hit $140 Billion

HYPE price climbed roughly 10% over 24 hours on Sept. 18 as Hyperliquid approached a key technical resistance zone near $90.

The token traded around $86-$87 after rebounding from the $75-$77 region earlier this week. At the same time, Hyperliquid remained one of the largest onchain perpetual futures venues, with roughly $240 billion in 30-day trading volume.

Onchain data also showed one whale-linked wallet withdrawing more than $9 million worth of HYPE from Coinbase over nine days.

HYPE Price Attempts Major Breakout Past $90

After retesting the support at around $76, HYPE price has resumed the uptrend again, looking to break past the bearish order block around $89-$90. Today’s Hyperliquid rally comes with the daily trading volume crossing $1.33 billion.

The derivatives data on Coinglass shows that the HYPE open interest has surged to $3.26 billion, whereas the 24-hour short liquidations have shot to $4.90 million. Analyst Crypto Patel noted that Hyperliquid should break past the crucial bearish block to confirm the uptrend.

He noted that the HYPE price should secure a higher-timeframe close above $90. According to the analyst, a failure to reclaim the $90 level could send HYPE back toward the $60-$50 support zone.
